Hi Guys,
I just received my ROCKPRO64, but I have severe problems to get it to boot.
I prepared a SD card using the PINE64 Intaller, I have tried various OS offerings, Linux, Android, etc.
But none of them seem to boot the RockPro64.
The power supply is perfectly fine, it is capable if providing 12V@4A.
I even tried another power supply, same effect.
The board seems to be supplied, at the GPIO connector I can measure 5V as well as 3.3V.
The Ethernet LEDs are blinking if I plugin a network cable.
The Power button seems also to shut down the board if I press long enought (Ethernet LEDs turn off),
and by pressing the Power Button the Ethernet LED turn back on.
But under no circumstances I get a video out on HDMI, not can I see that the board has requested
a IP address.
So, it looks like as if the board is not booting from SD card at all.
Unfortunately I forgot to order an eMMC card as well, so I cannot check whether it boots from eMMC.
I placed already an order, but I have to wait a few more days for the eMMC card to arrive.
Is ther a special trick to get the board booted from SD card?
If there any other way I could check whether the board is atcually working, booting from USB maybe?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thx
Daniel
